Okay, so I'm new here, so please bear with me while I get used to the whole, "I write it, you read it" kind of thing.  Ever since I got here a couple of days ago, I've been pretty much useless and it's starting to get to me.  I haven't figured out what to do other than sit around and concentrate on how much I don't seem to have a past, though I

At the moment, the best thing thing 'to do around here' is to get the hell out of the tree. Those noises are not normal for this place, apparently. Get to the Wilderness.

[child_proteus]

Yeah, but what is the Wilderness? I haven't managed to get a straight answer out of anybody yet. When somebody says "Wilderness" I think grizzly bears and nature walks.

...Everybody around here makes it sound like it's doom on a plate.

[distant_dragon]

It's...odd. Right now it doesn't look like much that belongs in 'nature'. You just don't go in alone or you'll probably get lost.

[child_proteus]

Yeah, Sight was saying it's a city right now? Which is totally cool with me. Right now, a city is one of the few things I can remember...

Are you one of those adventurer types too?

[catatonicanon]

the fishbowl! the fishbowl!!
you call it a fishbowl too~?

[child_proteus]

Um. Somebody mentioned it -- overheard them -- in the temporary housing. It seemed. Well, appropriate.

I mean, they say goldfish have no memories, right?

Heh, now that I think about it...it's kind of depressing.

[catatonicanon]

pity the goldfish!
not only do they not have memories, but they don't even taste good!

[child_proteus]

Heh. When it rains, it pours, I guess, huh? Though -- wait. What you're saying...

Does that mean you've eaten goldfish before? Or...us?

Please don't tell me your know from experience...

[twoninths]

God save me from the usefully employed! What is it about this place that seems to make people scamper off to find employment?

[shouldve_didnt]

Oh, didn't you get the memo? You don't get assigned to residential housing unless you get a job--and you're only allowed to stay in that cramped temporary place for about three weeks. I don't know what happens after that, though.

[twoninths]

OH BLOODY HELL.

[child_proteus]

Heh. Looks like you and me are in the same boat. No more lounging about for either of us.

[shouldve_didnt]

The noises only started recently... Never heard them before this. Then again, this place isn't known for making sense.

You might want to arrange with someone to go with you to the wilderness. When you use the elevator, it's the third floor stop. Ah, actually--I was just promoted to handle adventurer groups, but I don't know what's up your alley.

[child_proteus]

Right now, to be honest anything is up my alley. I mean, will that count? Can I get paid to like...adventure?

[shouldve_didnt]

Yeah--I mean, I get paid to adventure. Care to sign up?

[child_proteus]

Man, I'm totally in. Point me in the right direction, I'm there.

Oh, and the name's Throne, by the way. Well, at least, that's what I call myself.
